I've come a long way myself in terms of becoming a believer in the business application of social media. I have to say I have seen people take crappy subjects and turn them into interesting posts--even making the front page of digg. Takes a bit of creativity. Appreciate the thoughts and tips, SiteOne.

But, I now have to admit I was wrong and in recent months I've grasped the nettle so to speak. from an SEO point of view socal bookmarking is definitely a goer (imagine the link juice you would receive if ya got on the homepage of Digg!!) and I really like <a href="http://www.squidoo.com">Squidoo</a> for promoting niche products or services. For for social networking to work for a business, that business really does have to have appeal. I do work for a company selling fires and fireplaces and their Facebook fan page pretty much only has employees registered. Not that the company is crap - it's just the subject matter is crap! Advertising on Facebook is also worth considering. You can tailor your advertising based on gender and age to really focus onto ya target market. One tip I would throw in is download the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5687/">NoDoFollow</a> Firefox Addon. It allows you to visibly see whether links are nofollow or not. Great to find out where ya gonna get ya back links from! I really never bothered with social networking for business marketing – thought it was a complete waste of time.
